JonBenet Ramsay Myths Exposed & The Word...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS

About this episode

After almost 30 years, we still don't know who killed JonBenét Ramsay.

A new Netflix documentary has exposed how the police investigation may have been focused on the wrong people and perhaps even corrupted evidence allowing those responsible to walk free, but does that mean we finally get answers?

Plus December signals many things, including the all important Word Of The Year honours... but we're a little confused by this years winner for the Macquarie dictionary.
